Controversy The juggling of TVE and RFEF not to treat Kosovo as an equal
Spain is a coin in the air.
And like all coins in the air, it can fall from either side.
It can be expensive, and you even have a chance of winning the Euro if you get down the road and have some luck.
But it can also be a cross, and be eliminated at the first change in a group where Sweden, Poland and Slovakia will be (falling in this group stage is almost impossible because three of those four pass).
Edge, the coin cannot fall.
Spain is a coin in the air from the line-up, which Luis Enrique shakes like a goblet moves a dice during a game of Parcheesi.
Spain is a coin in the air against any rival, also against one as weak as yesterday, which shook him for 20 minutes in the second half.
Spain is a coin in the air, in short, and the question is whether it can be something more than that with the wickers it has.
Surely yes, but it is not clear how.
With this coach, of course, he will continue to be what he is.
A coin in the air.
Once the quartermaster recommended by the Government to avoid calling Kosovo Kosovo, and also overcome the astonishment of not seeing Sergio Ramos in the eleven when, theoretically, he did not have any health problems, the game was what everyone expected him to be .
Something more entertaining than the sessions against Greece and Georgia, fundamentally because Kosovo (which is called Kosovo) plays much more open than previous rivals, and of course, when you are so inferior and on top of that you open up, you facilitate the work of a team like Spain, which still took more than half an hour to break the scoreboard.
He did it with two goals from his two extremes, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres, two of Luis Enrique's most determined bets, if such a term can be applied to the coach.
The rest of the first part hardly served to intuit where the shots are going to go in the next Eurocup.
The Asturian coach reduced the changes in the eleven from seven to four, and the first thing that became clear is his bet on goal.
Unai Simón is the starting goalkeeper of the Spanish team.
That would be the headline.
But that only means that, if the Eurocup does not start tomorrow, Simón would be the goalkeeper.
But of course, who knows what will go through the head of the coach in two and a half months, which is when the tournament is played.
Other convictions, firm today, tomorrow who knows, of the coach are Eric García, who has played everything in this series of games, Ferrán and Olmo, Morata (who have participated in most of the minutes) and even Koke or Busquets, with two parties each.
And Pedri?
Well, Pedri played the last half hour against Greece and then chained two starts, and that against the Greeks, on the first day, he was much more discreet than his teammate Bryan Gil, whose flash in Granada only served to be a starter against Georgia and last Half part.
They are twists and turns of the owner of the bench, delighted with his fixed proposal that there is nothing fixed.
Against Kosovo (which is called Kosovo), then, the team started with more dynamism, but little by little it faded.
He was happy, of course, with the goals, but he did not discover any outbreak, neither green nor of any color, that makes us suspect which version of this team we are going to find in the Euro.
In the second part, the coin followed through the air.
There is no better way to define how Kosovo shook Spain for 20 minutes, and how thanks to a rude, very rude mistake by Unai Simón (who knows if this will fuel the goal debate again) the small Balkan team came to put yourself in a position to tie the game.
He did not do it because in a corner Gerard Moreno scored the third to give way from that moment to the other attraction of the night: Sergio Ramos.
The captain played the last four minutes to add 180 caps.
It is worth wondering if an official party is an acceptable scenario to make such a concession, which is not the first.
One wonders why the captain, who has always been indisputable, has been a substitute twice in a row if, as all the parties say, he was physically well.
One wonders why, if he has been a substitute, he has to play those last four minutes.
In short, it is worth wondering what has surrounded Ramos this week.
It is difficult to manage worse a presence or non-presence in the field of a myth, stained like it or not by the show.
